Potholders are needed in every kitchen, so you can make them not only for yourself, but also as a gift to your family and friends. In this article we tried to select as many interesting options as possible.
There are some simple examples here that even a schoolchild can do, but there are also more complex models that can only be attempted by someone who has at least basic sewing or knitting skills. For example, do-it-yourself patchwork potholders are quite difficult to make and require patience and accuracy in work.
Well, then let's get down to business!
Fabric potholders
To begin with, we will give you some preliminary recommendations regarding the process itself. They will come in handy in any case, no matter what pattern you choose.
So, what do you need to remember when you start making this kitchen accessory?
- 1 You need to choose a fabric that does not fray and is easily washed off. A cotton base or linen is the best option.
- 2 Do not use flammable fabrics: synthetics, satin. Still, sometimes you have to take dishes from an open fire and you can accidentally touch it. Cotton will not catch immediately, but synthetic fabrics will instantly catch fire.
- 3 Be sure to make some kind of layer between the two layers of fabric, since otherwise they will only perform a decorative function, and they will not be able to get hot.
- 4 Before cutting, be sure to prepare the selected flaps: wash and iron. If this is not done, then after the product is ready and you wash it, it may simply shrink.
- 5 Check if the fabric is fading. To do this, soak the flap in hot water. If the water is stained, do not use this material, no matter how beautiful it is. This is especially important when you sew a potholder from several types of fabric. It’s such a shame to wash something once and then throw away an item that has lost its appearance.
- 6 Don’t forget to make a loop for easy storage of potholders.
- 7 When making a pattern, be sure to leave 1 cm at the edges for hemming.
Here, in general, are all the rules that you need to remember. Do-it-yourself potholders are not sewing a coat, after all!
Potholder "Mitten"
This is the most standard option that never goes out of style. A mitten-shaped potholder not only looks cute, but is also very practical.
It is almost impossible to burn your hands in it. You can make the pattern yourself, using your own hand as a basis.
Trace it on paper, and then step back 5-6 cm from the edges of the drawing and form a rounded outline. If you don’t want to do this, then you can use our ready-made solution.
We present to you an option with a pattern, which in our opinion looks very decent, and it is not at all difficult to sew.
To make it you need:
- Textile
- Some kind of sealant, for example synthetic winterizer
- Non-woven adhesive
- Metal rings for decoration
Step 1. Then make a pattern, which is shown in the figure below. What size it is can be clearly seen on the ruler on the side.
Step 2. Place it on the fabric and cut out 4 parts for each mitten, 8 pieces in total: one straight, and the second in a mirror form. Then cut out a non-woven lining for each piece, 4 pieces in total.
Step 3. Now you need to cut out strips for the edging and loops for each mitten. Their size:
- Edging - 7.5 cm by 32.5 cm
- Loops – 10cm by 4cm
Step 4. Cut out the same elements from non-woven fabric. Glue the edging. Assemble the parts as shown in the picture and quilt.
Step 5. Then sew them together and turn them inside out. Sew on the edging and the loop. You can baste the details, or you can pin them with pins before stitching.
There you go! Not difficult, right?
Potholder "Butterfly"
This is a very convenient potholder, which is no worse than a mitten in terms of practicality. But her appearance is not so standard, but very interesting.
It looks like this:
And it is taken into the hand in the same way as in the picture. Many housewives who have sewn such oven mitts with their own hands note that after making them they don’t want to use a standard mitten at all, since this option is much more practical and it is easier to grab the hot part of the cookware.
Here is her pattern. In the same way as in the case of a mitten, calculate the number of parts.
Potholder "Mouse"
Mice are unacceptable in the kitchen of any self-respecting housewife! But not these cuties, in the form of potholders.
And here is their simple pattern. You don’t need a lot of parts here, just 2 for each and a lining. You can choose absolutely any colors, the main thing is that they combine with each other.
Potholders in Patchwork style
These tacks require patience and skill. But the result is simply stunning! It is necessary to cut parts into such products strictly along the grain, otherwise the product will later become deformed.
First, we cut the flaps into strips or squares, then sew them together, then sew them to a base made from a single piece of fabric.
And then we sew this blank to the wrong side of the pattern, not forgetting to add padding polyester.
The picture below is an example that you can use as a guide when coming up with an ornament.
Potholders made from old jeans
A very interesting option. And they are easier to sew than others because even padding polyester is not always needed. Denim fabric folded in two layers is itself very dense and will not allow any heat to pass through. The picture below shows the most basic and convenient model:
You just need to cut out the pockets with allowances, sew them together and stitch them to the same shaped back part made of fabric.
In addition to this option, you can make a very simple potholder out of jeans, which doesn’t even require a sewing machine.
To do this, you just need to cut out 3-4 squares and pull out the threads along their edges, forming a fringe.
Then simply sew the parts together using a regular seam, using a bright and thick thread.
That's all! Simple, fast and no heat to your hands.
Felt potholders
Felt is good because it does not crumble. You can make any appliques you like on potholders without finishing the edge. Moreover, you don’t even need to have a sewing machine! The felt holds its shape perfectly, even stitched by hand.
We’re not giving you any patterns here, because there’s no point: it’s easier to draw the details yourself, making them whatever size you want. Here is an example of an "Autumn Leaf" potholder.
You need to stitch with contrasting woolen threads, you can use beads, braid, etc.
For those who like to knit, we offer a lot of interesting, crocheted, and even DIY oven mitts for the kitchen. The process of creating them won’t even take an evening! A couple of hours and you're done. Of course, if we are talking about the simplest options.
It would be nice if you attached the knitted part to the fabric part, the purl part, and put padding polyester inside. Otherwise, such potholders only serve as interior decoration and you won’t be able to use them to pick up a hot frying pan.
Let's see what the most popular options are.
Potholder "Simple square"
You don't even need any diagrams here.
Just make a chain of the required size and build rows on it, changing the colors of the thread, depending on the selected pattern. And then tie the finished square with any curly row.
Variegated potholder “Ring”
And there is no need for diagrams. Make a small chain of 5-6 links, connect it to each other and start knitting in a circle, changing threads.
As you can see, everything is very elementary, but what a result!
Potholder “Watermelon slices”
And there is no need for diagrams! You knit a circle, changing the threads on the crust, and then simply fold it in half, connect it along the edge with a border row and embroider the grains with black threads.
This tack turns out to be denser than the previous ones, since it is double.
Potholder "Ladybug"
You won’t believe it, but even here we will do without diagrams! We knit a circle, and then tie the head to it, removing the loops by eye, so that the same shape comes out as in the picture.
In the same way, by eye, we knit circles and a tail.
Potholder "Sunflower"
But here we need a diagram. The potholder comes out very beautiful, but a beginner cannot do it.
But, if you don’t understand such complex patterns, and you really want a sunflower, then you can knit it using the second option. It doesn't look as elegant, but it's still a sunflower!
You just need to knit it in the round, changing the colors of the threads in the pattern. To avoid confusion, first draw a circle on a checkered sheet of paper and color in the necessary elements, this will make it easier for you to count later.
Crocheted potholder "Cockerel"
One of the most popular options that is relatively easy to make and looks really cool. Here is one example along with the pattern.
Experienced knitters will not have much difficulty knitting this “feathered miracle”. You can use a variety of colors, even bright and variegated.
Hot pads made of various materials
Well, for a snack, we suggest you make coasters for hot cups. If you make them to match the potholders, you will get a whole ensemble!
The apples shown in the picture below are knitted like a regular round. We have attached a diagram of the leaf.
We knit the leaf according to the pattern, and make the “tail” from a couple of lines of simple loops connected to each other.
Now look at felt coasters.
They are very easy to make and there are tons of options. No patterns are needed here; the shape of the parts is clearly visible in the drawings. Just draw them on paper first, then cut out the fabric using a stencil.
Or these apples:
A wicker heart is a more complex option in appearance, but in reality it is very simple to create. How exactly can be seen in the figure.
If you have the patience and read our article to the end, then you already know exactly how to make oven mitts for the kitchen with your own hands. Choose any of the proposed options and do it with confidence. You will succeed!
This is a quote from this post
We sew potholders "Cat faces". Master Class.I am posting the most detailed photo course. Let's start right now.
The main pattern is light on a dark background, the potholder size is approximately 16.5-17 cm at the widest point (cheek). In theory, when you print this photo, you should get a life-size potholder. But first, check what size you will print; if it is larger or smaller, adjust it in some editor.
Before you start sewing, read the ENTIRE photo course in its entirety, taking into account all amendments.
To work, you need to prepare two templates, cutting them out of paper.
The first (main) is the general outline of the tack, a pattern without seam allowances.
The second template is the inner part of the potholder, the “muzzle,” filled with gray.
Since I sewed these potholders impromptu, I didn’t prepare at all, so I’m showing you how I sewed them.
For the back I will use denim, the muzzle will also be made of denim, so it is not necessary to “insulate” such a potholder too much. I laid the main template on the slimtex and cut out the sealing part with 1 cm allowances.
Place the cut-out piece made of slimtex (or any other sealant) onto the fabric you choose for the background. The fabric is face down. Focusing on the edges of the slimtex part, we cut out the part of the desired shape. We fasten the parts together with pins.
At this stage, you need to weave a strip of background fabric from the main fabric for a loop 6-8 cm long, or use braid, rope, etc. for it... Fold the strip in half, align its edges with the edge of the workpiece and attach it in the marked place (in the middle between the ears ) as shown in the photo.
We fold this two-layer “sandwich” in half (no matter in which direction) and make a cut with a total length of 5-7 centimeters.
We unfold the “sandwich” and place it with the front side on the front side of the jeans chosen as the backing. We cut off the excess and also fasten all the layers together.
We put the now three-layer “sandwich” on a piece of flannel (two layers are possible), again fasten all the layers with pins and trim off the excess flannel.
We place the main template on the four-layer workpiece and secure it with pins.
You can trace the outline of the template and then stitch along it, but I stitched directly around the template, focusing on its edges.
Trim excess seam allowance to half a centimeter. Trim off the corners of the seam allowance near the tips of the ears. Don't forget to remove the pin layers.
Along the contour, cut off excess sealant from the allowances and flannel on the reverse side. in curved areas, cut the allowances, not reaching the seam by 1-2 mm. Cut the corners near the ears, also 1-2 mm short of the seam.
We turn our semi-finished product inside out through the hole.
Using a peg and an awl, we pull out the corners of the ears.
Iron our workpiece lightly, but without fanaticism, and just slightly steam it.
To prevent the cut from affecting the shape of the potholder, we will fasten it on both sides from the backing side.
Now it's the turn of the second template - the inner contour of the "muzzle". We select the fabric for the “muzzle”, copy the template to the wrong side and cut out the detail of the cat’s denim face.
We place the cut-out piece from jeans onto the workpiece and stitch it along the contour with a rather large “appliqué” seam. I chose a seam width of 4 mm. Remove the pins securing the cut.
We transfer the contours of the ears, nose and eyes onto paper.
We cut out the details of the ears, nose and eyes from fabric pre-reinforced with fleece-fix. We place them on the workpiece in accordance with the pattern and iron them.
We sew all the details to the base using an appliqué stitch and light threads. The seam width is smaller - 3 mm.
The pupils can be sewn on with an appliqué stitch, but I drew them with fabric chalk and followed the contours with an appliqué stitch to match the pupils. And finally, use lighter threads for finishing seams around the eyes, nose, mustache and mouth. The seam is continuous, starting from the corner of the eye - on the nose, then the mustache and around the nose, and then one lip and moving to the second half in the reverse order. That's all.
And now for the correction.
Since I sewed the appliques through all the layers, almost the entire face of the cat was imprinted on the back of the potholder. I just like this, I did it deliberately, but... My machine has long been somewhat loose, and the appliqué seam does not look very nice on the back. It would probably be best to first make appliqués of the eyes, ears and nose on a cut-out piece of jeans, and only then sew it along the contour. And the finishing stitches will already serve as a stitch that holds all the layers of the product together. That's all. It seems to me that everything is clear.

How to make your kitchen cozy and unique? Each housewife has her own methods and secrets. We suggest crocheting cool oven mitts for the kitchen. Such cozy little things, made with your own hands, always please the eye and lift your spirits. You can knit crocheted potholders with patterns both for yourself and for friends and loved ones. , and the diagrams for them are a good opportunity to decorate your home, and the homes of loved ones, with figurines of Cats, Cat's Paws, a Cockerel, or a Hen.
First, we will have the simplest master class with a description; even a beginner in knitting can handle it. Crocheted potholders are a good idea for decorating the kitchen, or for gifts.
To work you will need:
- Yarn 100% acrylic, 250 m./50 g. – 1 skein.
- Some dark yarn for tying.
- Hook 2 mm thick.
In order to crochet a potholder, you need to cast on a chain of 5 air loops and close the chain into a ring. Next, we knit 12 double crochets - 5 rows in total, adding 12 double crochets in each row. At the end, we knit ears according to pattern 1 with a single crochet. Next, we tie the round head of the cat 1 next to the single crochet with dark yarn. We knit the body of the cat the same way as the head, with the only difference being that instead of 5 rows we knit 9 rows with a double crochet.
The paws need to be crocheted like this: we hook the thread to the cat’s body, and knit the paw according to pattern number 2. Then, on the other side, we knit the cat’s second paw. The tail is knitted according to pattern number 3. At the end of the work it is necessary to sew on the head. Embroider the muzzle the way you like. You can simply sew on 2 buttons instead of eyes. We finish crocheting for beginners with a loop of air loops. Knit the second cat in the same way as the first.
Cat Paw Potholders - diagrams and explanations
You can knit interesting potholders if you study our master class. The diagram is given for a small foot, but the size can be increased if desired. The kitchen potholder Cat's Paw is crocheted from light acrylic, with the addition of brown yarn, 2 mm thick.
Start knitting
In order to knit 2 large potholders, we will need to make for each: 2 large parts - legs, 1 smaller part - a pad, and 3 small pads. Let's start with the biggest detail. It is knitted from double crochets (dc) + we knit 3 semicircles from dc and a double crochet from a double crochet. base loop threads (SBnp).
Large detail
- 1st row: first we knit a sliding loop, and 2 air loops (VP), now we knit 11 double crochets (CH) around the ring. When 11 dc are knitted, we tighten the sliding loop into the ring. We thread the hook into the base of the VP post and knit a connecting loop. 1st row is ready.
- 2nd row: knit 3 VP, and knit 2 DC into each base loop. We knit the 1st DC where the chain comes from. Next we knit 2 dc in each loop of the base of the row. We knit this way until the end of the circle (2 dc per base loop). The 2nd row is knitted, connect it using the connection. loops (SP).
- 3rd row: again 3 ch for lifting, then into the same dc loop. Next p. knit 1 dc, then knit 2 dc into the base loop. And so we knit until the end of the row: we knit in every 2nd column. 2 CH.
- 4th row: if in the third row we made an increase in every 2nd loop, then in the 4th - in every third.
- 5th row: increase in every fourth loop.
- 6th row: increase in every 5th loop.
Thus, in each row we add 12 loops. We knit this way until the circle reaches the required diameter. We knit the main part, then we make 3 semicircles according to the pattern. For one potholder you will need 2 such parts.
Small parts
How to knit small parts? All small details are knitted from RLS. We start with a sliding loop, then sc, then 2 single crochets, knitted from one. We knit according to the patterns.
Assembly
We sew 2 large parts together (1 foot), sew on the middle pad, and 3 small ones. You can tie a large paw with contrasting yarn. Sew on a loop from VP.
This interesting, funny pot holder can be knitted in one or two evenings. You can make a mitten in black, or in two colors, a tabby cat - everything is in your hands. The length of each potholder mitten is 23-24 cm - this depends on the thickness of your yarn. These crocheted potholders are easy to wash in the washing machine and hold their shape well.
To work you will need:
- Yarn – (acrylic 100%, 300 m./100 g.) – 70 grams of black.
- White yarn – 20 g.
- Hook 3.5 mm.
- Toy eyes (can be made from empty pill packaging and beads).
- 2 nose buttons.
Knitting a pot mitten
Using a thread of the main color, cast on 30 VPs, close the ring of loops.
- Then knit in the round with a single crochet (SC) - 22 rows. After 22 rows we begin to knit the thumb of our pot mitten.
- For the finger, we cast 9 VP on the side, skip the 9th column. the previous p, fasten the chain RLS to the next st.
- Next, we knit another 22 rows in the round, then decrease evenly in each row until 6 stitches remain. Pull the top of the mitten together and secure the thread.
- In order to shape the thumb, you need to knit 19 sc along the edge, knit sc 12 rows straight. Next rows, gradually reduce 4 tbsp. Pull the top, trim, and secure the thread
Ears
In order to knit an eyelet, you need to cast on 3 VPs with the main thread and close them into a ring.
- 1st row: knit 6 sc in the center.
- 2nd row: knit RLS, adding 3 RLS to every second column.
Muzzle
We cast on 6 VP for the cat's face with white yarn. We knit 3 rows of sc around the chain, it is necessary to add 3 sc when turning.
Assembly
Glue or sew all the small parts to the base of the mitten. Embroider the mustache using a chain stitch. We make a loop from 16 VP, sew the loop to the top of the mitten. We knit the other pot mitten in the same way, observing the dimensions.
Despite the many master classes, I want to do something special with my own hands. Potholders Cockerel and Chicken - two bright, cheerful potholders for the kitchen. On the eve of the Year of the Rooster, a crocheted rooster potholder and a crocheted chicken potholder will be a good gift for family and friends. The height of such a mitten is 24.5 cm, width is 13.5 cm. The width of the mitt in the finger area is 17.5 cm. A simple master class will help you in your work.
To work you will need:
- Cotton yarn (55 g/100 m) – 75-80 g each. gray and yellow.
- Remains of yarn in red, green, black, orange colors.
- Hook 2 mm thick.
Knitted from two parts: top and bottom. To start working, you need to cast on 36 VP (chain loops) with red yarn and knit, according to the diagram, an RLS potholder (single crochet). You will get that 1 cell of the pattern is equal to 1 RLS. We look at the diagram and draw according to it. In order to move to the next row, we dial 1 VP of lifting at the beginning.
We knit the cockerel with gray yarn according to the pattern. After completing the work, fold both parts of the mitten with the right sides inward, and connect both parts, tying them with sc. Next, you need to tie the top of the Cockerel with yellow yarn “crawfish step”.
We carefully design our pot mitten. We attach a loop.
This potholder will decorate any kitchen interior. The morning in the kitchen should start with roosters.
The chicken potholder is knitted from two halves: upper and lower.
We fold both finished parts with their right sides inward, it is necessary to connect them along the outer edge of the RLS (single crochet). We tie the upper open edge of the potholder with yellow thread.
After you have finished tying, cast on 17-19 VP for the loop and make a loop. Using a CC, connect the pot holder to the loop. We have finished crocheting potholders. To make the potholder look better, you need to iron the knitted fabric through a damp cloth.
